    Stock Connector can't find certain symbols

    I'm very dependent on the Stock Connector add-on in Excel. It finds most, but not all, stock symbols I use (300+).

    It fails on these: GFOF, RGTI, USLUX, PL, DWACW, PDN, and CCIV. Surprisingly, it also fails on PARA -- Paramount Global Class B (NASDAQ), not PARAMOUNT GROUP, INC. (XNYS:PGRE) -- not an obscure stock.

    MSFT displays an email address for help on Connector's opening screen. I've contacted them with the list above, but received NO response.

    Frankly, I switched to Excel from Google Sheets which does a much better and simpler job with stock symbols.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Re: Stock Connector can't find certain symbols

    when I type your stock symbols in, I get the results shown below.

    Excel 2016 (Windows) 64 bit
    A
    1
    Gfof
    2
    rgti
    3
    US Global Investors Global Luxury Goods Fund
    4
    PLANET LABS PBC (XNYS:PL)
    5
    dwacw
    6
    PENUMBRA, INC. (XNYS:PEN)
    7
    cciv
    8
    Purpose Divsf Real Asset ETF (XSGO:PARA)
    Sheet: Sheet1

    I do not know what the company names are for those missing. However, I then loaded the name of some stocks that I know the symbol. I listed the company name and not the symbol and Excel then brought up a window that let me select the correct symbol for the named stock. Suggest you try that methodology.

    I should have provided more detail as some symbols are duplicated over the world markets:

    GFOF: Grayscale Future of Finance ETF NYSEARCA
    RGTI: Rigetti Computing Inc (XNAS:RGTI)
    USLUX: US Global Investors Global Luxury Goods Fund
    PL: Planet Labs PBC (XNYS:PL) -- which has finally showed up, thanks for that...new issues seems to take awhile.
    DWACW: Digital World Acq Warrants
    PDN: Invesco FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Small-Mid ETF PDN:NYSE Arca
    CCIV: Churchill Capital IV [Lucid Motors]
    PARA shows up as PARAMOUNT GROUP, INC. (XNYS:PGRE) not as Paramount Global Class B

    I use Michael Saunders Stock Connector to track my portfolio. Here is the link to his site: https://www.michael-saunders.com/sto...ages/info.html

    Rule 03: Cross-posting Without Telling Us

    Your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Do not cross-post your question on multiple forums without telling us about your threads on other forums.

    Post a link to any other forums where you have asked the same question.

    Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this.

    I have added the crosspost reference for you today. Please comply with this and all our rules in the future
